One of the renowned caves of Budapest is now damaged by an illegal construction. Since March 2007, a n illegal construction has been going on on the top of the hill hiding the cave. The floor of the main hall is now damaged, as well as the unique healing climate of the cave, used to cure asthmatic diseases. One of the side entrances has been covered with concrete and some soil after a ripping. The police did not find a responsible company to date, because the ownership of the lot is unclear.
This cave has another special feature: the paved walkways provide easy access for visitors with a wheel chair or a baby carriage. The damage did not occur in the zone available for visitors - only 250 m of the total length, 7.2 km of the cave is open for them. The damage wounded a part of 'zone A', the zone of the highest environmental value.

This is not a unique case in Budapest. There are several caves endangered by constructions, one of the most recent cases being the 'Crystal Cave' (Kristalybarlang) above the Gellert Hill.
